Well, the conference is over for another year! We finished off the joint SLA-MLA conference with a great social event at the Cathedral Village Free House where I was finally able to meet Jessamyn West. Well, that's not quite true – I've “met” her before but this was the first time meeting her in person. […]
At the risk of turning this blog into Cute Overload, here's another Pace-related clip. There's an indoor playground in Regina called “It's A Blast” (think a typical McDonald's playground but, uh, super-sized) that's apparently the largest of its kind in western Canada. We'd known about it for awhile but thought he'd be too small for […]
Shea got this off her mommy board and wanted me to do it. I got 68 and she got 92. (“Crunchy” by the way is what the kids call “hippies” these days. This quiz happens to be in reference to your parenting choices.) How Crunchy Are You?
…is what Shea said when she caught me feeding Pace chips while watching the hockey game last night. (At least she didn't catch me giving him sips of beer!)
Shea's on a mommy board (er, an online message board for moms if that's not clear) where they're currently having a discussion about “free range parenting”.This is the idea that you should allow your children lots of freedom to explore, learn and become self-reliant (ie. presumably the way that many of us grew up.) From […]
Flickr has added the option to upload short video clips. They've got some major differences from other video sites and appear to be treating the videos mostly as a way to complement your photos for the time being. The goal is not to have people upload long videos or clips of copyrighted material. To reinforce […]
I heard “Sliver” by Nirvana on the Regina community radio station this morning and it made me think of Pace's current trick. He now understands that Shea sometimes leaves the room or isn't in his line of sight. He still doesn't understand that she always come back. So as soon as it happens, he FREAKS […]
Yesterday was my one year anniversary with Southeast Regional. I was going to a post to celebrate the fact…but then I just went to bed early. The last year's flown by but I think that has more to do with Pace than the job. (Last night wasn't much better – Pace was up and down, […]
Pace was babbling up a storm the other day while grandma was watching him. So she rather ingeniously decided to call our Regina number and leave a message of his babbling so we could hear it later. (I've got a neat feature enabled on my message manager that forwards all messages to us by e-mail […]
